Burden, Trends, Risk Factors, and Forecast of Ischemic Heart Disease, Rheumatic Heart Disease, and Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter From 1990 to 2040: A Comparative Analysis of China, the United States, and Europe Based on the Global Burden of Disease
This study reveals distinct global and regional trends in the burden of AFF, IHD, and RHD from 1990 to 2021. The burden of AFF and IHD declined in most regions but showed a potential increase during the COVID-19 pandemic, while RHD continued to rise, particularly in low-SDI (Sociodemographic Index) countries. These findings provide valuable evidence to guide targeted prevention strategies and optimize resource allocation in global cardiovascular health policy.
